- Vol. 405, Iss: 5, pp 279-390
TLDR
The current status of particle dark matter, including experimental evidence and theoretical motivations, including direct and indirect detection techniques, is discussed in this paper. But the authors focus on neutralinos in models of supersymmetry and Kaluza-Klein dark matter in universal extra dimensions.

Collider limits on new physics within micrOMEGAs_4.3

TL;DR: The micrOMEGAs_4.3.4 as mentioned in this paper framework provides a generic framework for evaluating dark matter observables together with collider and non-collider constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bound-state formation for thermal relic dark matter and unitarity

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the mass of thermal dark matter annihilating via a long-range interaction is significantly affected by the formation and decay of dark matter bound states in the early universe.

Detecting dark matter WIMPs in the Draco dwarf: A multiwavelength perspective

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the possible signatures of dark matter pair annihilations in the nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxy Draco and analyze the gamma-ray and electron/positron yield expected for weakly interacting dark matter particle (WIMP) models.

Local-Group tests of dark-matter concordance cosmology: Towards a new paradigm for structure formation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the concordance cosmological model of the structures in the environment of large spiral galaxies with observed properties of Local Group galaxies, and found that the CCM does not account for the Local Group observations and that therefore existing as well as new viable alternatives have to be further explored.

Large Mass Hierarchy from a Small Extra Dimension

TL;DR: In this paper, the weak scale is generated from the Planck scale through an exponential hierarchy, but this exponential arises not from gauge interactions but from the background metric, which is a slice of spacetime.

The Structure of cold dark matter halos

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution N-body simulations show that the density profiles of dark matter halos formed in the standard CDM cosmogony can be fit accurately by scaling a simple universal profile.

The Early Universe

TL;DR: In this article, the Robertson-Walker Metric is used to measure the radius of the Planck Epoch in the expanding universe, which is a measure of the number of atoms in the universe.

The Hierarchy problem and new dimensions at a millimeter

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a new framework for solving the hierarchy problem which does not rely on either supersymmetry or technicolor, and they take as the only fundamental short distance scale in nature.
